Kinda came to that conclusion after battling through Warsaw. Next up is spoils of war with the Bolsheviks! I still have my original 2 PzIA's as my main tank force,waiting until France 40' to upgrade them both.

Right about elite rep until Norway (except planes).
Plus I sold all my infantry and tanks units after the first Polish scenario. Then bought 88, pioneers and cavalry - much cheaper than upgrading (also - not a single tanks until the first PzIII !)

That might be a little rough with the Pz Ia. You are going to face a KV in that scenario. Not that the Pz 38t is much better I suppose.

That is actually impressive. I think I had 3 Pz-38(t)s before france maybe 4.

Heh, in my video AAR I faced down the Soviet tanks, with the little panzer Is. That KV2 should've killed one of my infantry, but I got lucky.

Yeah but didn't you lose a couple of those on Manstein? Plus I think you might have a screw loose :)

I lost about 8 infantry, possibly more, on Manstein. I didn't lose any units when I played with -75% prestige, which is considerably easier. This mode gets harder in 1942 and 1943.

It is interesting that you mention Rommel getting harder in the later years. I was thinking about that the other day as I bought my Panthers for the first time.

Not just complete you have to go through the scenarios in America. So for instance if you end up at D-Day you won't unlock them.

To be absolutely correct then you need DV in the US West Coast scenario :)
